Spelling
Somthing or something?
Something is the right spelling. Somthing is a common misspelling of it.
SOMTHING leaves out the E after OM.
Why people write SOMTHING
Some letters are barely said, or not said at all, in everyday speech (the N in government, the P in pumpkin), so they drop out when the word is written as it sounds.
Spell the word out loud the slow way, exaggerating every letter ("govern-ment", "pump-kin"), and the missing letter comes back.
How often SOMETHING is misspelled
In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), SOMTHING appears 3 times for every 1,000 SOMETHING, about once for every 333 correct uses.
Is SOMTHING a word?
No. SOMTHING is not in NWL2023, Collins Scrabble Words or ENABLE, the word lists Scrabble and other word games use, so no word game accepts it. SOMETHING is in all three and scores 15 points in Scrabble before bonus squares.
